This is a rare 1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible with bucket seats.  The car runs and drives.  I just spent 2500 dollars on carb rebuild and new brakes and a couple of other items.  Please view all pictures and ask questions on anything and everything.  The cars needs much work but for a few grand more you could have a decent very cool driver.  The pictures make the car look better than it is to be honest.  The panels are pretty darn straight but it will need a full paint job if you wish to have a shiny vehicle.  There is a rust bubble on the right rear fender well.  The rest of the body is fairly clean minus a ding or two.  The bumpers have some rust as shown.  The convertible top does not work.  The motor turns and spins but does not engage the clamps above the windshield.  The top is in very nice shape minus the rear window trim area which is coming apart but should not leak.  The front power windows work including the quarter windows, the other windows do not. There are missing parts on the interior as shown in photos.  Windows don't line up exact just based on the rear windows not working.  The tail lights are not working or brake lights.  I am sure this is an easy fix but cannot access since the trunk will not go up based on previous top comment.  As mentioned it is a rare set up but this would be a better weekend cruiser than a full restoration vehicle as the cost would be astronomical.  Items to address would be top, windows, lights then you could tinker and adjust thereafter.  I have a box of little items such as the ashtray etc...There are alot of things that need tightening etc...so I hopefully think you get the picture.

As mentioned it runs and drives straight down the road and will make a cool driving, eye catching convertible with a little work but I am trying to give an accurate description so I won't get a "hey, I anticipated a really nice car and it is not".

Lots of questions. When I say full restoration I am speaking in terms of any classic. I have a beautiful 58 356a but to put to museum is astronomical. This car with paint, top etc would look fantastic as panels etc are very nice but  just want to inform. It is not the condition that some of these 20k convertibles are but with about 5-7 it would be. My reserve is much lower than that as to afford the new owner opportunity for growth. 


I am taking a bath on this as the individual I bought it off of told me all worked. I would rather not invest any more money in it  My reserve is half of what I paid and is worth it.

Quitting Mexico factory helps bring down Ford earnings $200 million in 2016

Thu, Jan 26 2017

Ford released its 2016 earnings report this morning, and despite a fourth quarter net loss it proved to be the automaker's second most successful year ever, following record breaking numbers in 2015. Losses for the year come from a number of sources, including accounting changes and a $200 million hit for backing out of the small-car factory in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Despite the loss, come March 9 about 56,000 UAW-represented employees will receive a $9,000 profit-sharing check. That, like most of Ford's other 2016 metrics, is slightly down from the year before, but it's still the second best profit-sharing payment ever. Total net income was $4.6 billion, down $2.8 billion from 2015. Total revenue for 2016 was $151.8 billion, up $2.2 billion. Ford's earnings report lists a global market share of 7.6 percent, down a tenth from 2015. Ford's European and Asia-Pacific markets posted their best and second best pre-tax profits respectively. The South American, Middle East, and African markets all took hits because of unstable economies and other external factors. Ford expects to have another down year in 2017 as it invests in new and emerging markets and focuses more on its mobility projects.Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
